Mason jars may have had their 15 minutes already, but I still love them, and they are so multi-purpose, and they are better any color you want them (I did this for my wedding last year–beware Vitreous paint in the stove can be really fume-y!). Tutorial at julie ann art:

I’ve been a little obsessed with Pinterest lately, and I’ve been saving up some of my favorite DIY wedding and decor tutorials to share with you. Luckily, Super 8 film fans–brides and grooms–are also usually very artsy/craftsy people, so I love sharing my finds with them! Hopefully you’ll find something here to inspire you…

A chevron tray from Martha Stewart would be delightful on a dessert table:

We have been staying busy at Nostalgia Film as summer turns into fall! We recently shot a yoga tutorial for the web for the lovely Maya at Breathe Eat Dance Evolve, which we cannot wait to finish editing to share with you.

We have been booking weddings for spring and fall of 2012, and are entering the fall 2011 wedding season. We still have dates available, including some availability in 2011, so please contact us.

We also have some sweet family Super 8 film footage we shot earlier this month, which we hope to share soon. We were lucky enough to travel to Nevada and Arizona, and see the Grand Canyon for the first time. We have some HD footage of that to share, too, and I have a couple of Holga photographs from the trip, below, complete with lots of fun light leaks and effects.

We recently got to spend a weekend with friends out at the cabins where we got married on the San Gabriel River in Liberty Hill, Texas. I had just found a vintage Diana camera (from the ’60s probably) on eBay, and I took it along to capture some images. There is still a little water in poor drought-stricken Texas as you can see… just a little bit.

I’m using today’s August Break photo post to share our sweet rescue pups‘ faces with you, and to tell the Central Texans and Austinites among you how to find your own new furry friend this hot August weekend!

This Friday, Austin Humane Society is trying to beat the heat by adopting out the first 107 animals for FREE! Dogs, cats, kittens — all FREE as part of their 107 Degrees of Love Event from 12pm – 7pm! Don’t miss out!

The wonderful couple’s wedding we shot on Super 8 film in the spring and featured on our blog, is featured on Style Me Pretty Texas today! We are so thrilled to be featured alongside the super-talented Nichols on one of my most favorite wedding blogs!
